The puzzle box said its a place of numerous crimes or something to that effect. Makes me think it might be a former titan city taken over by N'zoth. Kinda like how the World Pillar was the junction between the elemental planes from the real world, perhaps this place is a junction between the Emerald Dream from the rest of the world, taken over by N'zoth long ago and twisted, along with the surrounding forest.

Perhaps the numerous crimes are the naga experimenting on Neptulon and twisting life into new forms using N'zoth's corruption. We know N'Zoth appears to be able to change beings at will (highbourne into Naga at a whim)

I hope they at least increase the loot radius in underwater zones, so you can loot a corpse if you're at least within 10 yards of it, or something, that's the biggest pain in the ass of being underwater; looting.

inconsistent on account of the puzzle box belongs to yogg-saron and is pieced together as a presumably ancient nerubian artifact.

Something mean about trolls.I used to like Night Elves then they took a flaming arrow to the tree.

Also, voted zone, or city.

Given their response to Vash'jir I get the feeling if it is underwater it'll be grounded similar to an on land zone as opposed to swimming

I swear any more underwater quest zones and I will pull out my hair. Did it with my first toon never touched the zone again.

A single, optional water zone and it's some gigantic deal? Unless you have a severe phobia of deep water that's more than a bit irrational. I'm tired of yellow grass, I hope we never see anything similar to Westfall again.

So far so good. But don't stop here. So N'zoth is a huge sentient area like Zonama Sekot the living planet of the Star Wars EU.
But what exactly is he(she?) Sentient City? Sentient Forest? Huge chunk of Sentient Land?

Ny'alotha is the new name for Nazjatar, the Naga home city built around the Maelstrom. It WAS surrounded by a forest in its pre-sunken state

Ny'alotha is a trippy Old God city built by the faceless, most likely housing N'zoth. The Forest could be... I dunno, N'zoth's tentacles, or spires of stone, or some other twisted weird stuff. Maybe underground trees.

“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow

Ny'Alotha is a corrupted Titan facility which was created to hold N'Zoth. Ny'Alotha was originally under the Well of Eternity, deep in the earth. Being so close to the center of power of the world, N'Zoth was able to corrupt Deathwing, and persuaded Azshara to join his ranks as naga. He orchestrated the Sundering to escape his prison. While the Sundering sunk most of Kalimdor, it damaged the Titan facility containing him like Yogg-Saron. We will visit (Ul)alotha and fight the Naga, Faceless Ones, free Neptulon, kill Azshara, and defeat N'Zoth all the while containing the Emerald Dream and learning more about the Titans in preparation for WoW 7.0

Seems to be Old God Central, really. Similarily Lovecraftian, the first thing that springs to mind the Sleeping City beneath Roivas Mansion, in Eternal Darkness; Sanity's Requiem. This is the city of Ehn'gha.

If World of Warcraft has taught me anything, it's that teaching a crowd something is far harder than teaching individuals.
